Samsung PM983a 7.68TB U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD — PCIe Gen3 x4, MZQLB7T6HALA-00W07
New: 12-month warranty, manufacturer-backed and mirrored locally (longer where the manufacturer's own warranty is longer).
30-day returns on unopened items — you arrange the courier; we pay it on faulty or dead-on-arrival units.
The Samsung PM983a is an enterprise NVMe SSD in the 2.5-inch U.2 form factor, giving 7.68TB of flash on a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface. It is built for data-centre duty, with power-loss protection to guard data in flight if a server loses power, and is rated for continuous 24/7 operation.
It suits servers and storage nodes with U.2 NVMe bays, such as Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem and Supermicro platforms with NVMe backplanes. Typical roles are virtual machine datastores, database and analytics volumes, software-defined storage capacity tiers and read-heavy content stores, where 7.68TB per bay keeps rack density high.
This drive is new. Samsung part number MZQLB7T6HALA-00W07 (MZ-QLB7T6B).
Before ordering, check that your server has a U.2 NVMe backplane and the right drive carrier: a SATA or SAS-only bay cannot take a U.2 NVMe drive. Ask us if you need a matching carrier.

Frequently asked questions
Will the PM983a fit my server?
- It fits any server or storage node with a 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe bay and a matching drive carrier, including Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem and Supermicro systems with NVMe backplanes. It will not work in a SATA or SAS-only bay.
Is this drive new or used?
- This listing is for a new drive, Samsung part number MZQLB7T6HALA-00W07 (MZ-QLB7T6B).
What workloads is a 7.68TB U.2 NVMe SSD good for?
- It suits virtual machine datastores, database and analytics volumes, software-defined storage capacity tiers and read-heavy content stores, where high capacity per bay keeps rack density up.
Does it have power-loss protection?
- Yes. Like other Samsung enterprise SSDs, it protects data in flight if the server loses power, which consumer NVMe drives usually do not.
